Editor's Notes
- Inform participants about Rotary’s four existing partnership types and their role in the nonprofit landscape Educate participants on available opportunities through partnerships and motivate audience to take advantage of them Engage participants in newly developing opportunities, such as sponsorships and Rotary Global Rewards Encourage participants to suggest potential partners to Rotary, differentiating between legitimate options and companies that only want to promote their own programs

Such practices are becoming less common, as Rotary members in Ghana and other countries have collaborated to install clean water systems in Ghanaian villages, and helped the nation eradicate Guinea worm disease... Many water projects in Ghana are being carried out as part of the Rotary International/USAID H2O Collaboration. The effort is providing more than 100 villages with clean water through installation of boreholes with hand pumps, along with sanitation facilities and hygiene training. Strategic partners Definition: Formal relationships between RI and/or TRF and another organization Large-scale, multi-year Provision of financial, technical, advocacy resources Multi-step identification and vetting process Goals: Elevates impact, sustainability, Rotary’s profile Attracts external resources Establishes core programs in support of areas of focus

Challenges: Challenges of committing to long-term projects Preference for equipment/ infrastructure projects Funding and grant mechanisms Partnership development at club- and district-level vs. RI Characteristics of Success Community-level engagement Experienced organizations that understand Rotary Willing to work with volunteers and provides complementary skills Fiscally capable of matching Rotary resources

The only source of water was from a nearby pond, which was filled with dirt and garbage. Many children were sick with diarrhea and waterborne diseases like typhoid. Now, World Vision has helped them build a reverse osmosis plant to purify the pond water. The plant supports more than a thousand families and their children, and the average daily consumption is about 1,000 gallons. Fourteen-year-old Anil Kumar, a sponsored boy, says that before, “The water was not good. It was green in color and tasted very bad.” He continues with a smile, saying, “[These days,] we collect water in a bottle and go play cricket and kabbadi (a local game).” UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education World Vision

Spreading it evenly over the surface and within the top 15 cm of double-dug beds will ensure healthy soils and even healthier plants. Support Rotary club and district projects in the avenues of service and areas of focus Cost-neutral relationships All activities take place at the local level at the discretion of individual clubs and districts Rotary’s Service Partners include: The Dollywood Foundation The Global FoodBanking Network Peace Corps YSA (Youth Service America)
- Cost-neutral relationships with organizations started or managed by Rotarians Usually through a club/district; offer service opportunities to Rotarians Rotary and ShelterBox: Project partners since March 2012 Through a variety of engagement opportunities, Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact clubs and districts support ShelterBox in its mission to provide emergency shelter and humanitarian aid to families affected by disaster

- Rotary’s decentralized organizational structure Bottom-up approach to service activities by clubs and districts Clubs and districts more reluctant to engage in activities developed corporately by RI and implemented through top-down approach Governance of organization with annual turnover in leadership: Less focus on long-term planning; multi-year funding required to scale projects Need a product to attract corporations and their foundations as resource partners AND/OR need to develop a product in collaboration with a resource partner that would attract Rotarian interest
